Give me more water, please!

Emma Kate 6 1/2 months old. 14 lbs. 4 oz 25 1/4 inches long. She has her first cold and is still the cutest thing you have ever seen. She gets in our bed every morning because she gets up way to early for us.

She loves her feet. This is the position you find her in most of the time.

There are the 2 teeth!

Uncle Dave's Fall Break

My younger brother is a sophomore at Union University in Jackson, Tennessee. He had fall break last weekend and he and 2 of his buddies, Mikias, and Kevin came home with David. They always have a ball. My grandparents came to visit while David was in town. Emma Kate is Mamaw's "live doll".

Emma Kate loved Mikias. He took her for a stroll and sang songs to her.

Kevin is from Colorado and he believes a sled must be involved in anything to make if fun. So, they invented tractor-sledding.

Emma Kate loves her Grammy

Emma Kate is now eating cereal and I was feeding her in her bouncy. But, we end up with more cereal everywhere else and not in her mouth. She bounces way too much. So, we have moved to the highchair.

Our little Inchworm

Here is Emma Kate as she has traveled across the floor on her back and ended up under the table. There are more pictures in the post below.

Grand Times at the Creswell Household

I know, I know it has been an eternity since I have posted. We have been in a whirlwind trying to get our house in Johnson City ready to sell and begin getting our home in Knoxville ready to move into. So, we have set up camp at my parents house in Knoxville. They have been so gracious to let us stay. I believe they are beginning to think we are not going to leave; but would you with breakfast, lunch, and dinner fixed for you? :-) Anyway, we are all doing well. Emma Kate just had her 6 month check up and she weighs 14 lbs. 4 oz. Yes, she is a little petite thing. She now has 2 teeth. She got her first one Sept. 2nd. Then the 2nd one just a couple of weeks later. She is 100% adorable. We are spoiling her, but we don't care. I have a bunch of pictures to post, so I hope you enjoy.She scooted all the way from her playmat to under the coffee table. She does the crab crawl on her back. Hillarious! (I have no idea why this is underlined... sorry)
Bailey really likes Emma Kate. Bailey watches out for her. In this picture you can not tell, but Emma Kate loves the dogs.

Like Christmas Morning

Emma Kate and I came to Knoxville on Tuesday so that Jara could finish up the work on our home in Johnson City. Apparently he gets more done when Emma Kate and I are not there. So, we came to Knoxville and went shopping. So, thank you to those who got Emma Kate a gift card when she was born. They came in very handy when we were wanting to buy her a couple of toys to learn to sit up in. She is enjoying the jumper and I am sure it will be a bigger hit once she gets the hang of it. The super seat helps her learn to sit up, but right now she really just wants to chew on it all!

We miss you Daddy and we will see you soon.

Jara, you get to put together her next toys. I am two ahead :-) Have Fun!!

My toes never tasted so good!

As I mentioned in a previous post, Emma Kate has outgrown her 3-6 month pj's and we bought her some new 6-9 months. I think they are so cute on her it is definitely picture worthy. However, if that is the case I will be taking her pictures constantly. Emma Kate is starting to think the camera is her mother :-) Anyway, you will also see that she enjoys chewing or sucking on most anything including her toes.

These 2 pictures is how we have begun to find Emma Kate in the morning or when she wakes up from a nap.

Loves those toes!

Professional Baby Pictures by Mom

Ok, so I am having some trouble with my blog. Don't ask me why it is underlining the text... I cannot figure it out. Also, the pictures are scattered about, but I could not figure out how to move them without erasing them. So, I hope you can see past the busyness of this post and see the adorable little girl in the blue and brown dress. Ok, go figure. I preview the post and come back to write more and boom... normal text! Anyway, we are trying to get a picture for her baby dedication pamphlet. I believe she is being dedicated on September 14th in Knoxville.

Ready to sit up!

Emma Kate was pulling up on her monkey to chew on it. She ended up completely sideways in her bouncy. It is a good thing they have straps in these things or she would have been on her head.

Summer Fun

What an exciting day. Jara worked and I played!

A dear friend of mine that I work with came over with her daughter who is 6 weeks younger than Emma Kate. Emma Kate and Brianna looked at each other, punched each other, held hands, and Emma Kate sucked on Brianna fist. They are now officially best friends. That pretty much sums up their afternoon. Rebecca and I got to sit and have adult conversation and watch a girlie movie... yippee! We sure will miss them when we move to Knoxville.

"I am done already!!"

So, after bath time I tried to get some more pictures of Emma Kate sitting so pretty in her glider, but this is what she had to say about that ......

She is growing so fast up more than out. Jara and I went out today and had to buy her some more pj's. She seems to be too long for her 3-6 month, so we bought 6-9 month and she fills them up length wise. They are huge around her belly though.

Chair Ready

I was in Emma Kate's room folding clothes and Jara brings Emma Kate in and plops her down in her glider. He started to walk away and my heart jumped, I thought she was going to start gymnastics right then and there and tumble out of her seat. But, she did not. She sat so pretty and posed for some pictures before bath time.
